How To Use Aircraft Cost Calculator’s Trip Cost Calculator

When aviation professionals need to calculate, compare, and understand the impact of hangar leases, inspections, maintenance, and other costs on aircraft ownership, they launch Aircraft Cost Calculator.

ACC is also the aviation industry’s most powerful cost-analysis tool for projecting all kinds of aircraft-related costs, including trip-specific projections and comparisons between private and commercial travel. If you’re planning a trip in a specific aircraft, here’s how to get started.

Once you find your aircraft, click Add To Session to the right, and then click Calculator at the bottom of the page. In the page that opens, select Trip Cost Calculator from the top menu.
